I'm guessing that OSX partitioned the CF under HSF+ and not HSF. As I see it (and have done) you would need to get the CF to an older machine (System 8 or less) and repartition it under HSF. For me, I use a PowerBook 1400 with a CF-PCMCIA adapter to partition the CF with System 7.6.1 or OS 8.0...

It definitely needs a recapping. I recapped one of my Duos a couple of year ago and posted it here. You would have to look in the 2014 as to when I did it.You need to wash the board out and blow it dry, in a worst case - use a hair dryer! And distilled water! It was a 250 Duo I believe I did...

Ebay would be a better source than Amazon, unless you like getting your wallet raped. I find Amazon too expensive on small things, which is why I say that. I have several G3/G4 iBooks & PowerBooks with SSDs. The connector is a STANDARD 2.5 inch Drive connector - NOT A 3.5 inch. There is no...

Maxell (usually Red & White) Battery is the culprit in battery explosions. Varta and that purple one whose name eludes me right now usually does not explode, they do but it is rare that they do.  But it is best to replace them anyways.

As stated on Compgeke's post, the SE Logic board does not have the problem with caps that the SE\30 has, so you will not need to recap the board. Also, there is the jumper issue. Follow this guide to make sure your jumper is set right: http://lowendmac.com/2016/memory-upgrades-mac-se/ Since...

Congrats. It is a hard thing to find. I would not mind having such an adapter but I do not have the machine to put it in. As Is, my Mac IIci is also my workhorse for it too has the 040 DayStar in it as well. Between that and my IIfx... well I'm still trying to decide which machine is the...

On a standard USB 2-button (*Microsoft*) Mouse, the Mac should be able to recognize the left button as the main or single button of the mouse. Since you have not mentioned it, I'm assuming that you can move the cursor about on it. OSX, even the early versions, can recognize a PC Mouse and use...

Just in adding, as there is no way to edit this past the Time Limit... A few members have washed their logic boards in tap and filtered water and ended up with a board covered in this fine white dust that was difficult to remove. Sometimes it interfered with the board, other times it did not as...

ResEdit -> ICON Resource. Also in the PICT Resources. They are there... But, if they are from games, they happened to be copyrighted images being inside copyrighted software. Just saying.

Exactly.

The 190/5300 keyboard is similar to the Duo keyboard in that it has 2 Mylar sheets with a circuit painted on it made by conductive paint. The conductive rubber ring on the keyboard button completes the circuit when pressed against the Mylar sheets. Chances are the previous owner spilled soda or...

In my topic (around 2014 in the Hack Section) I addressed the possibility of what has to be done to get a Mac Space worthy. Though few answered on the possible idea, as there are a few things in there that carries over to Mac Repairs (such as the SE\30 here), and one of them was to use Solid...

Any pictures? I like pictures... (LOL!) So,  with these parts, it is best to place them? I'm sure that I have the older Classic II analog board as the logic board is a "Prototype-4-EPROM Chip" board.

It would be great. The Logic board will last that long; they lasted this long, in some cases over 30 years, in the f'ed up condition they are in with bad leaky caps and all. Using the solid state caps (Ceramic, Tantalum, Polyester, etc), they will never leak again. The only things left are the...

It does not matter if it falling apart yet or not. I had similar problems with my IIfx and when I replaced the 3 bad caps in the start up circuit and the 2 Axial (large) caps plus the batteries, I have yet to have another problem since and that was over two years ago. Just because you do not...

What's the number(s) on the 1mb chips? And where is the 16MB (4MB Sticks) in Bank A or B? Finally, have you tested the machine with just 16MB along - with the 1MB removed?

Of course its bad caps, but from the sound of it it is also either a bad hard drive or the traces to the SCSI Chip and Ports were eaten away by the cap goo. You can not look at the board with your bare eyes and say "Yup, this looks good." You need a magnifying glass and actually look at it and...

Interesting. I can’t see it as the image will not expand for me when I double click it for some reason. Long ago I seen/read an article on Byte Magazine on how to expand the 128K to 512K by piggy backing RAM chips onto the others on the board, and wiring up the board’s multiplexer chips to them...

Ferrix is right. Apple only swaps out the board and badges. Consider that at the time there were no authorized Apple Repair Centers, Apple Tech got their certification through correspondence courses and given access to ordering Apple Parts, many computer stores hired Apple Techs for Apple...

Leaking Caps and broken traces. You can look up the caps on Mouser, Digikey and/or Newark/Element 14. Their search algorithm is basically straight forward. Trag is a great source, he'll explain a few things that do not makes sense if you need it explained. If you are using Tantalum caps, I...
